We stayed in Beach view apartment, the rooms were a little bit dated, could do with a wee refurb. Litter was found in bedroom drawers and a dirty pair of ladies underwear was found under one of the single beds(by one of my children) Disgusting. Staff were lovely in hotel and the food was amazing.

Clean room, comfortable bed and friendly staff. We arrived late after a ferry delay. The staff were very accommodating and even advised us on where we could get a late takeaway in Stranraer. Port Patrick was wonderfully peaceful and relaxing (we visited in late Autumn). We ended up staying until dinnertime rather than leaving straightaway as planned. We enjoyed walking the seafront with our children and dog. An overnight stop that turned into a nice break.
